We don’t pay bureaucrats better than private sector employees because they have more power. And we don’t steal from our children. That’s a fair country.”

“Talk about sexist – have you ever, ever, heard someone come up to a woman and say ‘find your masculine side?’ And by the way women, if you find your masculine side – I’m not interested.”

23. Ann Coulter, on the Occupy Movement:

“Now, I know what some of you are thinking: Hey, aren’t you the one who wrote that smash New York Times Bestseller “Demonic” – How the Liberal Mobs are Endangering America?

But the good news is, the title of my next book is ‘Nancy Pelosi moves to Luxemburg.’”

25. Grover Norquist, President, Americans for Tax Reform:
